=== Foundation ===

| title = Midfielder Steve among eight released by City

The history of [[Korsholm]] ([[Mustasaari]]) and also of Vaasa begins in the [[14th century]], when seafarers from the coastal region in central [[Sweden]] disembarked at the present Old Vaasa, and the wasteland owners from [[Finland Proper]] came to guard their land.

| url = http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/yorkcityfc/news/display.var.1400978.0.midfielder_steve_among_eight_released_by_city.php

In the middle of the century Saint Mary's Church was built and in the [[1370]]'s the building of the fortress at [[Korsholm]], Crysseborgh, was undertaken, and served as an administrative centre of the [[Vasa County]].

| publisher = The Press

King [[Charles IX of Sweden]] founded the town of Mustasaari on [[October 2]], [[1606]] around the oldest harbour and trade point around the Mustasaari church approximately seven kilometres to the southwest from the present city. In [[1611]] the town was chartered and renamed after the [[House of Vasa|Royal House of Vasa]].

| date = [[2007-05-16]]

Thanks to the sea connections, ship building and trade, especially tar trade, Vaasa flourished in the [[17th century]] and most of the inhabitants earned their living from it.

In 1683 the three-subject or 'trivial' school moved from [[Nykarleby]] to Vaasa and four years later a new schoolhouse was built in Vaasa. The first [[library]] in Finland was founded in Vaasa in [[1794]]. In [[1793]] Vaasa had 2 178 inhabitants, and in the year of the catastrophic town fire of [[1852]] the number had risen to 3 200.

=== Town fire ===

The mainly wooden and densely built town was almost utterly destroyed in [[1852]]. A fire started in an outhouse belonging to district court judge [[J.F. Aurén]] on the morning of [[August 3]]. At noon the whole town was ablaze and the fire lasted for many hours. In the evening most of the town had burned to the ground. Out of 379 buildings only 24 privately owned buildings had survived, among them the [[Falander]]-[[Wasastjerna]] [[patrician]] house (built in 1780-1781) which now houses the Old Vaasa museum. The [[Court of Appeal]] (built in 1786, nowadays the [[Church of Korsholm]]), some Russian guard-houses along with a gunpowder storage and the buildings of the Vaasa provincial hospital (nowadays a psychiatric hospital) also survived the blaze. The ruins of the greystone church, the [[belfry (architecture)|belfry]], the town hall and the trivialschool can still be found in their original places. Much of the archived material concerning Vaasa and its inhabitants was destroyed in the fire. According to popular belief the fire got started when a careless visitor fell asleep in Auréns outhouse and dropped his pipe in the dry hay.

=== The new town In===

{| border="0" width="100%"

The new town of Nikolainkaupunki (Nikolaistad in swedish, after late [[Nicholas I of Russia|Tsar Nicholas I]]) rose in [[1862]] about seven kilometres to the northwest from the old town. The town's coastal ___location offered good conditions for seafaring. The town plan was planned by [[Carl Axel Setterberg]] in the [[Empire style]]. In the master plan the disastrous consequences of the fire were considered. Main streets in the new town were five broad avenues which divided the town into sections. Each block was divided by alleys.

During the [[Civil War in Finland|Finnish Civil War]], Vaasa was the capital of Finland from [[January 29]] to [[May 3]], [[1918]]. As a consequence of the occupation of central places and arresting of politicians in [[Helsinki]] the Senate decided to move the senators to Vaasa, where the [[White Guard (Finland)|White Guard]]s that supported the Senate had a strong position and the contacts to the west were good.

{| class="wikitable"

The [[Senate of Finland]] began its work in Vaasa on [[February 1]], 1918 and it had four members. The Senate held its sessions in the Town Hall. To express its gratitude to the town the senate gave Vaasa the right to add the cross of freedom, independent Finland's oldest mark of honour designed by [[Akseli Gallen-Kallela]], to its [[coat of arms]]. Because of its role in the civil war Vaasa became known as 'The White City'.
